No longer grounded, Button Mash goes outside to find that all of Ponyville thinks he's dead. No matter what he does, he can't seem to get anypony's attention.

Stranger things have happened, right?

It has been eight years since Buttonmash and the CMC have graduated school and moved on with their lives. Button is a famous videogame designer, Sweetiebelle is on tour, Scootaloo is a stuntspony, and Applebloom is working on real estate while expanding the CMC. The CMC are still helping others, but have jobs as well, leaving almost no time to be free. Button, under the pressure of designing a new game, has become anti-social, and has blocked everypony out to focus. Rarity, worried for Button, calls the CMC for help to bring the Buttonmash, that Ponyville knows, back.

Button Mash has never been the most popular boy in Canterlot High. He's always been a bit of a loner. So, what can he do to try and meet new people?

He creates an after school gaming club!

However, unfortunately for the young man, the gaming club is not a big hit with his schoolmates. It's the third week, and nobody has shown up. Button is about to give up on the club when someone unexpected suddenly shows up at the club. What hijinks will Button Mash go through? Tune in to find out!

(Currently a one shot, but can become a series if people enjoy it. So be sure to let me know!)

(Also, this story is set in the EG universe, but EG art of Button Mash really just doesn't exist, so pic isn't strictly related)

When Button Mash thrashes somepony in online multiplayer, he is quick to gloat about it. When the pony in question says that they could easily track him down, he challenges them to do exactly that; he even bets them a hundred bits that they won't.

His opponent says they will, but Button isn't worried; after all, it's not like they will actually go through all the effort of tracking him down, right?

Right?

AUTHOR'S NOTES

Alternate Universe tag is there because the Internet exists in this version of Equestria. A character tag is also missing, to prevent spoilers.

Button Mash has vanished. In the dead of night. After weeks of telling anypony who'd listen about the monster in his room. Now its up to Gibson the bestest big brother ever and his two best friends Sound Wave and Thunder Crash to find out the reason behind the foals mysterious disappearance.

Button Mash goes to the beach with his mom for a vacation. This is a story inspired by Just Grandma and me by Mercer Mayor.

Button Mash experienced something he never thought was possible. He experienced what life would be like if he had died. Now he must right all his wrongs so that if it does truly happen, he will be prepared.

To understand the story will need to read the sequel. This is a sequel to Nopony will remember by ya-RlnA. Go and follow him.

Button Mash and Sweetie Belle have been living with each other for six months and are in need of a break. So on a whim they go to the beach for the day. On the way they discuss their future as a family and their plans. While they make their way to, and have a relaxing vacation.

Sorry long descriptions aren't my strong suit.

Video games are awesome. Nopony will deny that, especially not Button Mash. However, when Button's grades begin to slip and his teacher threatens to hold him back a year, Button realizes that if he is ever going to be with his sweetheart, Sweetie Belle, then he's going to have to get his act together and fast.

Special thanks to TheExhaustedBrony for helping me with this story. Seriously, this guy is sooooooo awesome at everything ever and is totally the best! Also thanks to BrownieBorn for proof reading and giving feedback!

Someone or something clearly wants Button Mash dead. Or, at least, wants him to know that it wants him dead, what with all of the deadly circumstances followed by second chances.

It will take all of his wits and metagaming ability to survive this.

Or he could learn his lesson and apologize, but consider who we're talking about here.

(Inspired by, but otherwise unrelated to, Obs's latest meme. Gore tag as a precaution—descriptions of it are going to be pretty short and clean.)
